Nephilim 10

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days- and afterward … They were heroes ofold, MEN of renown.

The Nephilim were on the earth before the flood and after the flood. They were prominent, well respected MEN of
God. That is before they fell away from their faith. The Nephilim are also considered the“fallen ones.”

Before the flood, all people lived to around 900 years and grew 9 to 15 feet tall.

After the flood, people started to live shorter lives and started to grow shorter in height. Today, the averageage is less than 80 years old and the average height is under 6 feet.

People lived shorter lives and grew shorter in height after the flood because the upper water layer was dumped on
the earth. The tropic “green house” effect was gone. Increased exposure to shortwave radiation has damaged
human genes. The aging process accelerated, causing people to live shorter lives and to grow shorter in height.

Some people or tribes remained tall for a short time after the flood. This is because their genes were stronger and
changed slower. Eventually, everyone grew shorter and lived a maximum of 120 years.

Next week, we will study a past subject “What is our calling or mission.”
